Bush Signs Internet Tax Ban
You can say this is good news for bloggers and all internet users. Today, George W. Bush signed legislation barring state and local governments from "taxing connections that link people to the Internet," from dial-up to high-speed cable connections.
"I cannot envision any time in the history of our country when it would make sense to be imposing taxes on broadband or the Internet, no matter where one is or who one may be," said Sen. George Allen, R-Va.The new law, which remains in effect until Oct. 31, 2007, will help ensure that less-affluent Americans can afford Internet access, Allen said. Otherwise, Internet access taxes would average 18 percent, he said.
